Our Why

Your companion means the world to you. It almost feels funny to call him or her a “pet.” Because to you, they are so much more. The bond you share is so strong, so tender, and so nourishing. We understand. We built Animal Care Veterinary Hospital because we believe the love you have for your pet is precious, and worthy of truly exceptional protection.

What your neighbors say…

After over 15 years of receiving care for my pets at Animal Care, I trust the veterinarians and the very caring and skilled staff to meet all my pets needs.

Virginia Zachary

I highly recommend Animal Care Veterinary Hospital. Everyone is so friendly and very caring! Each vet gives their undivided attention and thoroughly answers your questions and concerns. Both my cat and puppy loves going! My puppy is so excited when we drop him off at doggy day care that they offer too.

Shannon

This place is amazing! The doctors treat their patients like their own animals. They have been there for me during 3AM emergencies, difficult surgeries, when my baby girl went to the Rainbow Bridge, & now with my new puppy. When we didn’t know why my 17 yr old Pug was sick last year with multiple conditions, Dr. Blaylock never gave up and never “just” prescribed meds to help the symptoms. On his own time, he researched her condition and found answers. The nurses are very knowledgable & caring. The support staff is amazing! Everyone there works very hard & cares very deeply for animals. I won’t take my dog any where else.

Kellie

I just love bringing our new puppy Gia to Animal Care. The doctors, nurses, and staff are wonderful. They are so loving with Gia and so sweet with mom, answering all of the many questions from having a first pet. They are always ready to give advice and guidance in addition to her physical care. I highly recommend them to anyone for their fur baby!!!!

Amy

We have been clients of Animal Care for 15 years. We have watched the practice grow thru that time but the care has always stayed the same, kind, caring, honest, and available for our pet’s needs! If you can’t tell, we think they are the BEST!

If you truly love your pet/ pets and want the best for them, you need to visit Animal Care Veterinary Hospital. I have owned pets all my life. Since we moved to Murfreesboro, they have been taking care of our precious Dillon; guiding us through the years and helping us carry Dillon across the Rainbow Bridge with dignity and compassion. The Kent’s say thank you to all the doctors and staff.
